State Printmaking
Eighth grade students have been working extremely hard on a printmaking project in the BMS Art Room! Each student chose a state and conducted research to find interesting facts about their chosen state. They designed a drawing to represent their state and went through multiple steps to create a linoleum block print.
Once the linoleum printing blocks were carved using various sizes of carving tools, students were ready to print! Brayers were used to apply printing ink to the surface of the linoleum block. Students completed their prints by pressing them onto white paper. Each student made a limited edition of their prints by signing and numbering them and matted them onto a construction paper background. Artist statements were written to complete the project.

And We're Off!
The 2015-16 school year has gotten off to a great start...and as I find myself nine days away from the end of quarter one, I am realizing how fast the days and weeks are flying by! This year I am again teaching students in grades 5-8 and we have been busy in the BMS Art Room!
Fifth grade students are learning about using personal symbols in art, applying value in compositions, perspective drawing techniques, ceramic building techniques, color theory, and watercolor painting techniques.
Sixth grade students are learning about personal symbols in art, Aboriginal art, totem animals, ceramic building techniques, grid drawing techniques, and value.
Seventh grade students are learning about 3D construction, personal symbols in art, perspective drawing techniques, ceramic building techniques, photography, artist statement writing and various artistic styles.
Eighth grade students are learning about portrait drawing techniques, micrography, ceramic building techniques, pop art, printmaking, artist statement writing ad paper cutting techniques.
This year I also have the pleasure of working with 7th grade students for my BEARS group - a community group I see a few days a week. For our enrichment project this year we are bringing back the "Monster Machine" project in conjunction with the kindergarten students in our district. We are having a blast with this project so far, and we are just at the beginning!
There will be so much more to come in the next days and weeks! Thank you for viewing :-)
